UPDATED! AS OF FEB. 3, 2007

So, you want to customize your About Me page?
eBay made About Me pages so you could express yourself on your own page. The indicator that you have one is that there is a "me" beside your name and feedback. Let's start out with a few simple things.

First of all, you must decide of a theme. Fashion? Sports? eBay? It's your decision.

Next, you should decide what pictures you should place on the page once you have it up. Your favorite picture? Maybe something funny? It's all up to you.

Now that you have a plan, you should either
A. Buy an "About Me" template for around $10.00, or
B. Know your HTML codes & everything, or

C. If you aren't willing to spend that $10.00, then I should go with this plan. Google it! Look up "free eBay auction templates" until you find a whole set. This requires little HTML knowledge if you are going with this plan, because you have to edit it enough so it looks like an About Me page. NEVER EVER take out the credits, or that would be stealing.

 

If you are going with plan A...
This process would be very simple, you get your own customized template. I haven't purchased one, but I think that they follow you through step by step on how to finish making your About Me page.

 

If you are going with plan B...
You should know HTML codes. Create your own code, and then copy it, and when you click "create my about me page" click HTML instead and paste.

 

If you are going with plan C...
Keep editing the template until you finally got it straight. To do this, simply enter it in your About Me page editing, and click "preview." You will get it sooner or later. If you need any help, go to the eBay HTML discussion. OR go to Community and type in the eBay member, Shipscript. Look at his About Me page, which is loaded with tons of cool stuff you can use!

 

That is the last of my About Me page guide! If you have any suggestions to put into this one, please contact me! If you want an example of an About Me page, you can check mine by going in the upper right hand corner, and click on the "me".
